The hotel's in a pretty good location with good access to public transportation. I was able to get around using buses, BART and the trolley out front no problem. It might not be the nicest part of town but it wasn't bad. I didn't feel unsafe at any point in the immediate vicinity. There were homeless around but I saw that in lots of parts of the city.
When I got to my room, I was glad to see that it was spotless and bright. It was a very basic room but had everything I needed, with a couple nice little touches. The bathroom I had was large and clean with a jacuzzi tub (that I felt too bad to use... signs about a CA water shortage all around town). Bed was comfortable.
The service at the front desk really made it stand out though. Ellen was incredibly pleasant and helpful and it made all the difference in my trip, honestly. She had spot-on recommendations and took the time to get a feel for what you might like. It was a little bit like having a friend in the city to help you get acclimated. I'm sure she wouldn't bother you if you're just looking for a place to stay, though.
For what I paid, I'd definitely consider staying again on my next trip to the city.

They give you a key to the front door that's $200 if you lose it and have to get it replaced! That was definitely an extra stress I didn't want to worry about on my trip.
They need a light near the bathroom mirror. It was hard to see my face for shaving so I was pretty worried I had missed a spot.
The road noise was a little annoying, but tolerable.
I came in November, so maybe they just hadn't turned on the heat yet, but my room was pretty darn cold in the morning. It was fine for the rest of the day and at night though.

Location - it's in a great spot in the heart of the city - easy to get to from public transport

The room was a little lackluster in terms of character - no art on the walls, drab coloring. It was ok though because we weren't in it much.

Wifi was easy to use and free. Nice that there is a restaurant downstairs though we didn't end up going to it. Very accommodating about our luggage - they let us check in early and get our keys even though the room wasn't ready. Then they put our luggage in the room for us so we could head out into the city. Also - there are a lot of stairs so it wouldn't be the place for someone with a disability or knee trouble.

The staff is helpful to my needs, but the location was a bit scary for solo traveler (gals)

Bed was rough, I had a hard time falling to sleep. The bed was so hard on the top bunk. Waking up with a stiff back! There weren't parking at site. I had to go a block away for it. It was an uneasy feeling to felt while traveling there.

The hotel was clean but its really more of a boarding house than a hotel.

This was more of a boarding house than a hotel, with several rooms sharing a bathroom. Parking was a block away & several flights of stairs to room, no elevator. Would not refund $, did not stay anyway. Prefer to pay to stay somewhere else.

I have stayed at the Hotel Whitcomb several times. It is very centrally located and is an excellent value for the money. It is an older hotel, but the owners have upgraded those parts of the rooms and hotel with which the guest regularly interacts. The rooms are clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable. The staff is courteous and attentive. The BART station is very close and the cable car terminus is about six blocks down Market Street. Again, it is a good value for the dollar.

Got a room with a bed you could get trapped in and squeaked so loud with any movement you would constantly wake yourself up. The door was broken and I had to really manipulate the door in order to get out each time. Fire hazard. I told staff all these issues and they wanted to give me &20 refund.

Incredible value — a great, clean, large space with tons of amenities for pocket change. This would be an awesome solution to a long work week in town.

The check-in process was weird, and the whole set up felt a little weird/sketchy at the beginning — coudlnt really tell if this was an AirBnB situation, or under the table or what. But in the end everything worked out! Location was kind of a bummer: virtually no restaurants, no bars, no anything nearby; it's not in the neighborhood where you generally want to be walking around at night, "exploring" your food options.

Despite the fact that I didn't actually get to stay in the hotel that I originally booked, the apartment I did get was okay. It just wasn't as nice as the one I booked and I did not get a discount. That's the only reason this is a two star review and not a one star score.

Booked a room at the SOMA Suites primarily because of the gorgeous pictures of the location, but upon arriving at the check-in location (which is a studio apartment masquerading as an office) I was immediately told that I would be set up in a different apartment owned by the parent company. This bait and switch tactic is pretty underhanded considering the fact that I'm sure the pictures of the gorgeous rooms were a primary reason that many people booked a room here.
Not that it greatly affected my visit this time (which will also be my last time booking a room here), but they can only provide you with a single key per room, so beware.
You're given a number to call to arrange an appointment for check in and despite the answering machine telling you that their office hours are from noon to midnight, they never pick up. I tried multiple times during their business hours and not once did they pick up or return a call after I left a message.

The Days Inn is a relatively old style motor inn with outside walkways, surrounding a parking lot. The room we rented was a king suite and it was fully refurbished and very comfortable. The AM breakfast is limited and minimal in its offerings but still a plus for those with children. In a city where it is almost impossible to find a parking place and if you can, it is extremely expensive, it was such a pleasure to pull into our parking lot and just park the car and walk to our room. The location is perfect to all points of interest and easy to access.

I stayed here while attending a conference at the Moscone Center. (The official conference hotels were a bit pricey on a grad-student budget.) The room was a bit small but very comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was fairly standard: cereal, fruit, toast/muffins. The hotel was within walking distance (about 1 1/2 miles) of the conference center, although some of the neighborhoods between the two were rather run down and a bit scary; there was also a bus stop half a block from the hotel. The free parking is a nice plus, but limited -- I'm not sure what the parking options are when the hotel lot is full.

Prices are either the average per night price per room or first night of stay. You can select to display the prices with or without our estimate of taxes & fees (which may not appear on provider's booking page but will be charged at hotel checkout). Before you complete your reservation, verify the total cost on the provider's site. Prices and availability are not guaranteed.

Here's why:

We’re not the seller
At KAYAK we don’t set prices, so it’s not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.

Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
